Craigslist personals no more
CL closed its personal section due to the passage of FOSTA. Wonder how many more sites will be affected.
Craigslist Personals is no more!
US Congress just passed HR 1865, "FOSTA", seeking to subject websites to criminal and civil liability when third parties (users) misuse online personals unlawfully.
Any tool or service can be misused. We can't take such risk without jeopardizing all our other services, so we are regretfully taking craigslist personals offline. Hopefully, we can bring them back some day.
To the millions of spouses, partners, and couples who met through craigslist, we wish you every happiness!
Ok so what's an alternative?

Some of it is people genuinely looking for fun and others for a few bucks. It will just move this to other places. The couples posting to add another couple or a third to their fun was causing illicit activity. Give me a break. So the question is where else will this pop up? People posting under the gigs section? Another website? I really like CL for when I traveled. Will just need to find the next alternative. Also now that BP sucks what are people using locally?
